Real Life First Person Shooter, Chatroulette Version [video]
- morey 11y agoIt is on HN before it is viral. The technology they put together for this is great!
- jaz46 11y agoReddit beat HN to the punch
- hanniabu 11y agoThat's really awesome and well done. Great job to all involved, even the players!
- nsxwolf 11y agoGreat stuff. Ben Folds did something similarly fun and surprising with Chatroulette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEYxiK0kpEw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEYxiK0kpEw
- shoo 11y agoJust imagine if they had met each other on Chatroulette!
- chime 11y agoThere was a movie called Gamer (2009) with a similar concept: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034032/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034032/ (trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2g94xQmtHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2g94xQmtHw )
- gear54rus 11y agoImmediately thought of it. - I've got a bad feeling about this, Chris, Imma be honest with you - That's right, I'm not gonna die, you are - That is a good point That's the inception of it we're witnessing.
- downandout 11y agoThis is awesome! But hopefully it doesn't inspire the first Periscope-based mass-shooting.
- toisanji 11y agosomeone make this into a company
- tempestn 11y agoI recall hearing about a real-life zombie apocalypse sim you could do in London. Ya, here you go: http://zombieexperiences.co.uk/ http://zombieexperiences.co.uk/
- kendallpark 11y agoThis is amazing. It also speaks to the absurdity of FPSes. I was laughing so hard at all the little FPS tropes. Like how the guns were cached in "obvious" places or how the guy knew there would be something of use inside the conspicuous pot outside. "Okay, now dual-wield the pistols." --said no one ever in real life
- InclinedPlane 11y agoThey tested dual-wielding on mythbusters, it's absolutely of no advantage. You can't shoot faster or better since the gating factor is not the gun (you can shoot semi-automatic pistols extremely rapidly) it's the ability to focus and aim more than anything, both of which are hampered by dual-wielding not improved. P.S. In terms of raw cool-factor, it's hard to beat this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tEYcUSQDyw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tEYcUSQDyw I won't spoil it by describing it.
- smtucker 11y agoUnfortunately it is hard to scientifically test the rule of cool
- n0us 11y agoThey forgot to use the crosshairs and auto-aim
- wingerlang 11y ago> it's the ability to focus and aim more than anything But if you're swamped with zombies, then maybe simply having more firepower is an advantage.
- InclinedPlane 11y agoYou can empty a magazine in seconds, being able to reload quickly with two hands is vastly superior to anything else.

- shoo 11y agoHilarious. It reminds me of the terrible DOOM movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45jgCxucL0k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45jgCxucL0k This is much better than the movie. The interactivity and the humanity of it is wonderful.
- Ratelman 11y agoFreakin brilliant! Almost makes me want to try out Chatroulette just for the chance at something like this.
- tajen 11y agoEver thought of trying Amazon Mechanical Turk, as a worker, on the section "Image recognition"?
- soylentcola 11y agoHonestly didn't realize it was still around. I remember when it first blew up in the public consciousness, a local bar had a funny event one night where they set up a computer with a webcam/mic pointed at the bar and a projector to put the video on the wall. Then we logged on to Chatroulette and let the amusement roll. Loads of people were taken aback by talking to a bar full of people. Some were really cool and chatted with us. Of course plenty of dudes were just whackin it. Some clicked "next" when they saw the bar full of people but at least one just kept going until we had to get up and click "next". Pretty fun idea but they only did it a few times before the novelty of Chatroulette mostly wore off.
- tempestn 11y agoThat was so amazing. It's a great thing about technology in general; when Chatroulette was built, it's pretty clear they didn't envision people using it in that way. Often the tech has to come first, and the awesomeness follows. (Also a lot of penises, but that part probably was foreseen.)

- beyti 11y agonow, I think "video game" has a different meaning than before. I'll be waiting for this to create this type of games and going on even multiplayer era. great stuff. Btw I think, this would allow elder/non-tech people to enter gaming
- arc_of_descent 11y agoInnovation!
- notahacker 11y agoCorny sets. The fear of impending doom. Watchers giving not-always-very-helpful advice. All it needs is sarcastic commentary to take me back to my childhood and the Crystal Maze, from the pre-FPS era.
- untog 11y agoThere's an Indiegogo for a live Crystal Maze, open to the public: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-crystal-maze-a-live-immersive-experience https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-crystal-maze-a-live-i... I'm already humming the theme music.
- camperman 11y agoThis is hilarious. Reminds me of the real life remake of Goldeneye 64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RR5V0rmN4o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RR5V0rmN4o
- skeuomorf 11y agoThis is pretty cool. It reminded me of [0] where a guy emulates kinda GTA-like behavior. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb1hOCX_UVo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb1hOCX_UVo
